解析

1.【答案】D

shown不是系詞;been和appeared雖可作系詞但

與句意不符;而proved可作系詞，意為“證明是”,

符合句意。

2.【答案】C

【解析】根據(jù)意思判斷，beyond意為“超出，超過”。

3.【答案】B

【解析】因landon意為“使...著陸”，而send,take和

【解析】該句為which引導(dǎo)的定語從句，意為“中國發(fā)明

火箭是在距今800多年前。”句中謂語是一般過去

9.【答案】B

【解析】changeinto是固定短語，“變成”的意思。

10.【答案】C

請同學(xué)們先不要看下面的解析，而是根據(jù)上面介紹的解題

方法，自己做一遍。然后再核實(shí)你做得是否正確。

題解與分析：

這是一篇說明文，文章介紹了沙漠之舟一駱駝的生理特

征和在沙漠中的作用。

I.A.并列連詞and連接的兩個(gè)對等成分，前面是否定

的，后面也應(yīng)是否定的。B.根據(jù)生活常識和上下文，在沙漠

中旅行應(yīng)該帶水。C.這句話的意思是：唯一能穿越沙漠的動(dòng)

物是駱駝。other,another是“其他”的意思，文章并沒有談及

其他動(dòng)物。just做”僅僅，講時(shí)是副詞，不能加名詞。only則

是形容詞，用來修飾名詞。A.采用擬人的寫法，用he代替

cameloA.只介紹了一種動(dòng)物，那就是駱駝。

6.B.駱駝的脖子很長，這是一個(gè)基本常識。

7.B.both和either適用于兩者之間,根據(jù)twelvedeep

pockets可以排除這兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)。all用于三者之上，且加復(fù)數(shù)

名詞。Each加上單數(shù)名詞表示“每個(gè)“。

8.B.這篇文章都使用了一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。

9.B.根據(jù)上文可知pocket是駱駝的儲水器官。

10.A.駱駝是食草動(dòng)物，這是一般的常識。

答案解析：

1.選B。從結(jié)構(gòu)上看，本空應(yīng)用一個(gè)關(guān)系副詞，引導(dǎo)一

個(gè)定語從句。

2.選C。從本空的后一句看，我們知道動(dòng)物們住在籠子

里。

3.選B。這里用however表示對比或比較的關(guān)系。

4.選Co動(dòng)物園的動(dòng)物當(dāng)然是由zookeepers進(jìn)行管理

的。

5.選B。由于被關(guān)在籠子里，動(dòng)物們當(dāng)然就感覺不舒服

了。

6.選C。由于缺少運(yùn)動(dòng)，籠子里的動(dòng)物自然地變?nèi)菀咨?/p>

病

7.A從后文我們知道，由于動(dòng)物們居住條件的改善，

它們能夠在更為廣闊的空間中生活，人們在觀賞這些動(dòng)物時(shí)

所處的環(huán)境也就更加地自然了。

8.A從文章的邏輯來看，給予動(dòng)物們更寬敞的空間主

要的目的還是想讓這些動(dòng)物產(chǎn)能夠象在自然的環(huán)境中那樣。

9.B根據(jù)常識可推知。

10.Dthrough常用來表示從某個(gè)地方穿過。

11.Ainstead在這里表示新舊兩種動(dòng)物園的情況對比。

12.D溝里有水，以使環(huán)境更加自然

o

13.A在自然的環(huán)境里，當(dāng)然是各類動(dòng)物都可以在同

一個(gè)地方生活。

14.C這里所提到的cage是一種特制的大型的籠子。

15.B由于這種籠子特別大，因而各種鳥都可以自然地

生活在這里。

16.Cspecialnightlight指的就是紅外線。借助這種光

線，人們可以在晚上看清暗處的物品。

17.B動(dòng)物們大多數(shù)象人一樣，在晚上休息。但部分動(dòng)

物卻在晚上才活躍起來。人們到這個(gè)動(dòng)物園當(dāng)然是看這些動(dòng)

物們處于活躍狀態(tài)下的一招一式。

18.C對于動(dòng)物，通常觀眾只能是看(watch)。

19.C在所給選項(xiàng)中，在極地出現(xiàn)的動(dòng)物只有bear(fro

m)o

20.B從上下文我們知道,現(xiàn)代的動(dòng)物園不僅僅是向觀

眾們展示動(dòng)物，而且還保護(hù)動(dòng)物。

4.Carterisa________?

A.doctorB.policemanC.cookD.farmer

「答案與解析」這是一篇推理性文章，要求根據(jù)所給出提

示，猜出各自的職業(yè)。

以上4題答案分別為C、A、C、D.有一定難度，且需要

一定的推理，現(xiàn)分析如下：

1.因?yàn)镴ohn的兒子腿摔斷了要去看醫(yī)生，故可推知John

不是doctor.

2.因?yàn)獒t(yī)生的妹妹是Smith的妻子，故Sm油不是doctor

（否則兄妹結(jié)婚，不合情理）。

3.由于farmer沒有結(jié)婚，所以Smith和John都不是

farmer（因?yàn)镾mith有妻子，John有兒子）。

4.因?yàn)榫烀刻炜吹絊mith,所以Smith不是policeman.

5.由以上分析可知，Smith不是doctor,也不是farmer,

也不是policeman,所以只能是cook.

6.由于Miller常從farmer處買雞蛋，所以Miller不是

farmer.

7.由以上分析可知，John,Miller和Smith都不是

farmer,所以Carter一定是farmer.

8.由于警察每天除看到Smith外，還看到Miller,所以

Miller不是警察。既然他不是警察，而且前面已分析出Smith

是cook,Carter是farmer,所以Miller一定是doctor.

許多年前，農(nóng)民為保護(hù)他們的雞而獵殺了很多老鷹。然而

根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容判斷正誤，正確的用“T”表示，錯(cuò)誤的

用“F”表示。

5.Itisimportantforustokeepthebalanceofnature.

【答案與解析】

1.選T。根據(jù)句子“Killthehawks,“theofficialssaid.可知,

此題與短文內(nèi)容相符合，所以可判斷為正確。

2.選F。本題句意為“田鼠不僅吃小雞還吃農(nóng)民的莊稼”，但

由句子Fieldmicewereeatingupalotofthefarmers'grain.可

知，田鼠只吃莊稼，

3.選T。由句子Iftheanimalscan'

tfindenoughplantstoeat,theywillstarveorhavetoleavethep

lace.可知本題正確。

4.選F。由短文內(nèi)容可知，如果人們不破壞生態(tài)平衡，而順

其自然，則動(dòng)物的數(shù)量不會有多大的改變。故本題與原文不

一致，所以判斷此題錯(cuò)誤。

5.選T。從短文的最后一句

Tokeepthebalanceofnatureisimportantforustoremember.

我們知道：保持生態(tài)平衡對我們來說是非常重要的。

【答案與解析】

1.選C。文章第1段說Tommy數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)不好，其父母想盡了一

切辦法都不奏效，最后將他送進(jìn)了一所天主教的教會學(xué)校。

2.選D。認(rèn)真閱讀第2段前面幾句話，并注意以下信息：

Afterthefirstday,littleTommycamehome…didn'

tkisshismotherhello…washardatwork…

withoutaword.可知答案應(yīng)選D。

3.選A。根據(jù)文章大意和

Finally,littleTommybroughthomehisreportcard.

Hequietlyputitonthetableandwentuptohis

roomandhitthebooks這個(gè)句子的語境，可知

hitthebooks的意思是“用功”。

4.選B。Tommy學(xué)習(xí)一直不用功，但自從進(jìn)了這所

catholicschool之后，情況就不一樣了——整天都發(fā)狠讀

書，結(jié)果數(shù)學(xué)考試也得了A。這是為什么呢？文章在最后道

出了其原因：

Well,onthefirstdayofschool,whenIsawthatm

annailed（釘）totheplussign（力口

號），Iknewtheyweren,tjoking.由此可知，Tommy是

擔(dān)心學(xué)習(xí)不用功會被釘在十字架上。

5.選B。Tommy把themannailedtotheplussign誤解

為“學(xué)習(xí)不用功的結(jié)果”，從而一改自己原來不好學(xué)的不良

習(xí)慣，很快就把數(shù)學(xué)成績趕了上去?？梢姡`解有時(shí)也可以

起到好的效果。
